Silyssar was a destroyed habitat that the Combine had given up for lost. The Shissar managed to locate it and erect a new barrier, pumping out the saltwater and claiming the habitat as a hidden haven. Away from prying eyes, the Shissar were able to hone their technology and magic, achieving feats never thought imaginable. From their seat in Silyssar, the snake-men are poised to destroy the Combine Empire.

Made it out here to Chelsith, took awhile. But now I need help on how to use the teleporters. I'm thinking the 5 HZ mobs: Shissar Arcanists must be in those floating temples high up in the air. Any help would truly be appreciated.

Let us know if you figure it out. I remember going there one time and couldn't figure it out either.

1st Tried that advice of using mission "The Snakes Are Hiding Something." from Tactician Sodut (sp?). Turns out i can't. I need to be in a group. Cannot Solo it.

Ok. Next.

2nd. Followed the other advice of the next fellow to literally go find the tele spot. by going outside the west wall. follow that north. just stay close to the wall. let me try to link a map to magelo : http://eq.magelo.com/zone/416

hopefully that worked. if not. google any Katta Castrum map image. look for the red circle do thing for "Zhisza". Near Upper NW. 4200, 2579 or thereabouts.

once you step onto the lightning tele thing. it takes to you the Zhisza place. Good. Now use your Map and do the find for the Silyssar, New Chelsith etc thing. You will have to sneak, fight past the mobs on the way. I just dashed invisibly as fast as i could.

Once you finally get into Silyssar...I gave up after i discovered that I would have to sneak/slog past some BLUE con mobs that gave my YELLOW con to me way too much work.

So not worth it. But if you're in a group. Probably so. Just not for this molo at 82nd. Maybe at 85th?? I'll try again and maybe update this post.

Just levitate to top of pyramid (temple) in Katta and float over wall, use the crack to the south in the 2nd wall and then head north to the zone in Zhisza. Then go north and click to open hidden wall to get to zone in.

for the time, the zone does not require progression to enter. When you zone into kata, go to Tactician Sodut, get the mission to zone in to Zhisza, the mission is called "The Snakes Are Hiding Something." Once you zone into the instance, you can zone out into Katta again, you will be at the portal to get into regular Zhisza. Once you zone in, you can use Find to see how to get to New Chelsith. You may have to clear a few mobs on the way, but much easier this way.

Main (Temperance 95/Brd) and secondary (Okiru 90/Shd) characters each have completed the Sol Teris access arc and have the Combine Signet Ring at 25AC/300HP, which means we definitely have completed tasks #5-Confront and #6-Will.

Now I am doing the five smudged pottery tasks for the Rejuvinating Urn conquest, popped over to the Silyssar portal, and once there I just stand. (I know the ring is not needed here and is only proof of having completed other tasks, but I have it with me anyway.) Not using levitation and moving over the Silyssar portal gives no texts or emotes, simply nothing.

I really want back in. Any ideas? - Sleepless in Erollisi Marr.

Look on your atlas tab, click on Odius, click on Mouth of Prexus (to Katta Castrum), and you'll see you have to go through Zhiszar to get to Silyssar. It's just like what you do in the instance mission, but go to the non-instgance of Zhiszar. The Katta stone marked Silyssar is for a direct to an instance version.

If it doesn't work in Zhiszar to zone into Silyssar, then your flags or something got messed up, if as you said, you have completed the access mission.

To get to the non-instanced version, you have to go outside the Katta wall on the West side, then go North, to about the N by NE section. On my map it's marked To_Katta To_Zhisza in light green, and is at about 4200, 2570, -500 in-game /location or you can add the following line to kattacastrum_2.txt:

Yes, the door for instanced and static Silyssar are the same. The pad in Katta Castrum at the north, like many other pads, does nothing. Unique symbol and lightning are just decorations, a red herring. It should be noted: Entry into Silyssar, New Chelsith exists only inside Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary.( ... until I discover or am informed otherwise. )

And yes new-and-improved map window confirms this. Search for Katta Castrum, select as starting point, search for Silyssar, select as ending point, it tells you two steps: Katta to Zhisza, then Zhisza to Silyssar.

you must do quest 5 and 6 in the arc to get access to this zone. you can do it out of order, and if someone in your group is able to request tasks 5 and 6 you will be flagged regardless if you have done another mission.

Their is some sort of flag or key for this zone. We did a group mission for this zone and the whole group but one person did all the tbs progrssion mission prior. The one group member who had only done one was not able to zone in, that wasnt just a but because we tryed to get bots in and they could not get in either. I do not know what key of flag is but their is one.
